The Bloodiest Modern Horror Slasher Icon Is Getting His Own Game

Selecta Play and Relevo have announced Terrifier The ARTcade Game, a side-scrolling beat-em-up game based on the Terrifier horror film series. It will launch for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam in 2025.

Step into a world of pixelated carnage with Terrifier: The ARTcade Game, a gory retro fighting beat ’em up packed with intense action, dark humour, and tons of fun! Inspired by the classic beat ’em up games of the 80s and 90s.

Become Art the Clown, the sinister and unpredictable villain from the Terrifier series, as you unleash chaos across a variety of locations. Each stage is a movie set where a film about Art is being produced, but you’re here to disrupt the show!

The game features co-op for up to four players for a chaotic local co-op experience and retro pixel art visuals.

This coincides with the release of the latest film in the horror slasher franchise, Terrifier 3. It is directed once again by Damien Leone (the director of Terrifier 1 and Terrifier 2). It stars Lauren LaVera, Elliott Fullam, David Howard Thornton, and Samantha Scaffidi, who reprise their roles from prior films.

The Terrifier films are known amongst horror fans as some of the goriest and bloodiest modern slasher movies. The killer in these movies, Art The Clown, is also becoming an iconic horror icon in his own right. Terrifier 3 premieres in US cinemas on 11 October 2024 but there’s no confirmation for a Malaysian release yet. However, due to its extremely gory content, it’s probably unlikely to be released in Malaysia.
